I didn't see a manga thread like the dub and sub so I decided to make one, sorry if there is already one, but i wanna chit chat about the manga to see what other people think or perdict.

Latest episode was Ash and Salamander - 333

My question is who do you think saved matsumoto?

And do you think we'll see soi fon's bankai anytime soon?

Going by the "ash" part my 1st guess would of been Yammamoto as his release is "Reduce Everything In The Universe To Ash, Ryuujin Jakka" or something like that.

And no, I don't think Soi Fon will release her Bankai just yet.

Firstly, Ash refers to Matsumoto's sword, not Old Man Yama, if it were him, the 3 arrancar would be nothing but ashes!

For the Salamander part, i thought it might refer to him to salamanders usually refer to fire(FMA). but it refers to the one girl w/ the black on her eye, as for the mysterious person, im leaning towards the possiblity of someone else showing up who wasn't there at the start of the fight, but im gonna take a few guesses since its someone she obviously knows.

1. Urahara/Yoruichi
2. Hisagi.
3. That Fisherman looking guy from squad 13.
4. Nanao(cant be more shocking than that!)
5. Yama's Vice Captain.

As for Soifon, i cant help but question whether or not she even has Bankai, or Unohana for that matter since she never fights *but is pretty feared none the less*

*When she told those squad 13 members about being loud, and when she made the cow skull guy flee.

Sidenote: where the hell's Yoruichi damn Zanpakuto?!

Well i was thinking it might of been Gin, but hes still stuck in yammamoto's fire thing, i was thinking either maybe a vizard or one of the urahara crew, or maybe hisagi or kira, but im clueless since it could be so many people, she just looked shocked

Right, after some carefull thinking I've come to conclusions!

The fireball that shocks Matsumoto is fired by Momo Hinamori if not then I have no clue lol.

SoiFon easily pwns the tart she's fighting atm, but she releases her Bankai against Barragon who easily defeats her until Yoruichi comes to the rescue with Kisuke!

They are my theories!!

its definetly hinamori the only vice captain missin from the fight hopefully her craziness has unlocked her bankai but unlikely

Ignore the bit in my previous post about Kisuke coz I just realised Yammy is nowhere to be seen so far so he must be off searching for Kisuke to finish their battle!

Boy was i way off! I thought to myself "Hmm, haven't seen Momo in a while", its nice to see her, and showed she can be a real badass! hopefully that captain aizen remark was just a slip out of habit. She looks too nice to be horribly maimed(again).

Momo's finally back. Yay! Did she say Captain Aizen out of habit? Hopefully she'll keep it together for the entire battle.

You guys were right, and did she see that kido net thing? I'm guessing the fight is long from over though cause the manga usually likes to drag these last few fights out

Yeah seriously! The manga is going at a very slow pace making Bleach all the more boring.

im wondering if soifon does have a bankai at all since she said that this attack which she pierced him trough was her best move

Maybe she does have a bankai, but its lame or hard to use, just a thought since she seems to have some difficulty with actual attacks.
